Week+10

=Build a social networking site. Using some advice on these slides incorporate some functions to your SNS and explain how these features contribute to your visibility online.= = = URL of my Social Networking Site: []

My social network includes photos, drawings, blogs and designs created by me as well as my favourite songs. Gaining visibility online is about trying to become visible on the Web. People on the Web become more visible when other users are aware of their contributions on the Web. An example of such contributions is a social network. People need to use social tools like Delicious in order to make other users aware of their contributions on the Web. I used the following social tools to improve my visibility online: Delicious and LinkedIn. Delicious allows me to create a list of bookmarks. Delicious helped me improve my social network's visibility online by allowing me to save my social network's URL as a bookmark and I created tags related to the content in my social network. The tags make people aware of my social network by providing my URL to the results of the people that search for something related to my tags. LinkedIn is a professional social network that allows me to connect to professional people. Linking to my social network from my LinkedIn profile improves my visibility online by allowing professional people access to my designs and blogs which makes professional people aware of me. Basically, without the social tools it would be difficult to improve my visibility online. I can see if my visibility is improving online by the number of people that link to my social network, and by the number of people that join my social network.
